    Are you subject to the two year home-country residency requirement?

    How long are you planning on staying under a B2 (or B1/B2)? What ties and resources can you demonstrate to your nation of origin that will demonstrate to the USCIS that you'll leave when your stay as a tourist is over, or that you can support yourself during your continued stay without working?
